What exactly is the difference between a surge protector and a fuse? Can a fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of surge protector?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.

the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".

What is the lowest probability event you have personally witnessed?

nine

Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).

(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

How can you determine which type of underwear to wear with different styles of clothing, such as dresses?

And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I post the exact comment here.

Barnstars:

What is a narcissist grandmother like, with her grandchild?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.

“ A surge suppressor is the one which is connected at the input supply so that when there is a sudden change voltage it bypasses thereby protecting the (circuit) and electronic components”

What is the story behind bhai dooj?

This one hit behind the barn.

“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Why does a narcissist act like it's nothing when they hurt you?

Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.

The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.

At the secondary, it is 1000 times less.)turns ratio). If it gets hit with a 100,000 volt bolt of lightning then the voltage arrestors conduct and clamp the voltage down to line voltage, ( but a small amount leaks down the line). This is the problem.

but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

This is a high voltage low current spike that comes down the line because of the power poles being struck, and the voltage suppressors activating on the primary side of the transformer.

It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.

Once the voltage goes over 0.0650 volts, then this fact can be used to amplify the difference, and turn the circuit breaker off , furthur down the line. Essentially that is what a RCD/GFCI does, it compares the incoming current, to the outgoing current, and if the difference between the two currents is over 5mA, then it trips the circuit breaker.

OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

so, what happens?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Why did I move on so fast from a relationship that was my whole life and I was so attached, I moved on by 2 months?

This is an electronic circuit designed to clamp voltages so that the Voltage Potential that appears at the outlet is never going to exceed the nominal value.

so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.

If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

Lightning arrestor is a spark-gap device, and can be installed anywhere. What is important, is that the wire is thick enough to withstand the lightning bolt and conduct the energy away from the building.

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.

At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.

Can you explain the difference between “mi piace” and “mi piacciono” in Italian?

For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).

This device then solves the entire problem.

But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.

An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”

“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.

He then asserts :

Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.

P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

What does a fuse do?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.

But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).

This is a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

There is no harm in having the surge suppressor along with the fuse in the circuit. The fuse will not open up until the current melts the link. This will take time, and in the interim, that jolt will get transmitted into the power supplies.

Upvotes:

Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.

What is lightning?

Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”

Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.

This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.

There are two important concepts here.

When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.

but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.
